Shocked! Original Painting Found!! and...How I sell thrift store CLOTHING for a living

[@KLeonardM]

Geez Karen I had to pause and stare at my lap top. I can't believe people would actually let a painting like this landscape go to good will!!!! Henry/Henri Rogers did mostly Parisian city scape's and that is probably what you have there. What a score and it's a large painting......God bless your eye ......Now I can continue sipping and watching.....Just shaking my head with a smile....

[@laurab8450]

Great finds, Karen. You are definitely not a hoarder. You have the best organization of your inventory I have ever seen! ♥

[@WonderlandThrifting]

You found some beautiful pieces! Love the Viking bird!

[@sherryblake8352]

[@theannruddgroup]

I just saw this video. I have a solid ruby red bird jar given to me by my grandmother that she had for many years. It is one of my most loved pieces!

[@aliciaenriquez6430]

[@kaykerns2287]

Love the Boho denim jacket

[@debbied3116]

I really love the way you tell about all the clothing. What a wonderful education on clothing for us who do not know much about them! I enjoy the calmness in your voice...just awesome!!

[@Meekavintage]

your home is looking so beautiful & Classy ..but ofcourse

[@robrobben6066]

Beautiful living room

[@MelywoodMedia]

You can ship that painting. Find a TV box. Use other boxes to cut cardboard corners. People will pay for shipping on that piece. It will take an hour to pack but it can be shipped.

[@tammygarrett9261]

Love the clothing ☺

[@suewinston-elliott2674]

As always brilliant video ! Thanks Karen

[@kirstenrissling879]

Wowza! Shut up with that Jean Jacket!!!!

[@barbaragodfrey1402]

Great video. You’re the best organized great sense of style and great business

[@dorothyrobdau7365]

Hi Karren, I like the longer videos, especially with clothes. This shows to your niche; I love when you tell us all about the clothing, quality, source and worth. Thanks for being you!

[@celestesmith8921]

I recognized the scene immediately. Yes very famous street scene of Paris done by many artist... Good find ...I found a original famous artist work a salvation army for $3....though I know the artist did my research...had it professionally appraised $950. Make sure you know the value of art ...

[@lindaaldridge5165]

Great deal on that painting. It is beautiful! If it doesn’t have glass over it, it is most likely oil.

[@KLeonardM]

What a great haul Karen!!! I loved just about every piece you purchased....Wow!!! I am looking forward to seeing your sold's as you are always correct in your pricing....Well done and so much fun....

[@ms-kaus4613]

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@darlenesullivan5009]

Love your videos! Learning so much! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!!

[@afolsom685]

Oh! Wonderful painting! 👍 Phooey! I was waiting for you to show the white clothes.

[@Tina_G3]

Love your outfit! I think I would watch your videos just to see what your wearing, love the tassel earrings, fun. Maybe this sounds a little strange, but I find your voice so relaxing.. Your channel is my favorite! Wishing you all good things!

[@kimborcoman2019]

I agree! Calming and relaxing voice for sure.

[@sirtedricwalker2979]

Enjoyed the video.

[@anneyday3493]

Gorgeous painting, nice haul!

[@najmaabdul2346]

nice findings, good luck on you´re business

[@homebodyheaven6114]

I have shipped large paintings via Fed Ex. They have special boxes that are totally safe. You can call and get a shipping cost estimate before listing. Use calculated shipping.

[@tommieslayden4105]

Your clothing and other choices are great and your explanations are so helpful. Your living room looks great!

[@pamelafisher1986]

hang up in that room u r in presently...perfect! alone my fav show too

[@jannettewebb8326]

Love your videos. Very inspirational to get out and get what is yours!

[@karenkelly4385]

Fantastic! Thank you for explaining the 10x the money - you have one of the best if not the best reselling channel on ebay and you always look amazing too!

[@PJwithheart]

I am completely bowled over by your finds - I need to move to Pennsylvania 🤩

[@jmw23333]

The frame on that painting is beautiful.

[@wt3680]

HELLO..I watch all your videos. You might want to switch your laundry soap. Tide is very toxic and not good for our health. I never knew this either but now I use Nellies. You can buy it by the bucket on costco much cheaper than tide. Also using vinegar as your softner works well and good for washing machine. Look this up! Thanks

[@stitcher4729]

I like All Free and Clear. No scent left behind.

[@annsmith4739]

Hi Karen nice clothes lv Ann uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@frankiedickens1212]

Hey Karen! Great clothing haul. I always learn when I watch you. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Your living room is looking beautiful. I’m crushing on those gold side chairs. 😍

[@lavenderclothesline]

Thanks Frankie! The chairs are really comfortable! 💜

[@teestjulian]

I just signed up for what not today. I have a really big huge death pile... I was going to try and sell these items at a flea market, however now I think if I get accepted for what not I'm going to try and sell them through whatnot. And I have been watching a lot of those what not videos and items do not go for that much money so that's why I decided to just do the death piles.

[@LindaKayHolevas]

I found a Viking bird dish, just like yours, but in red, at a garage sale about a month ago. I was so excited, (it really is beautiful) but they wanted $25 for it (they had an eBay post printed off with most of their items). They had tons of Fenton & I did buy a couple of things & paid up for them, but I did resell them & make a profit. This was an amazing haul! You find some awesome things! Thank you for sharing!

[@santatobias-pruitt1245]

I love a shift dress and with pockets. Fantastic find on the Vince dress!

[@MahnzaP4]

Good advice, you have a genuine heart !

[@karonwostenholme6533]

Great finds my favourite is the denim jacket. Living room looks great x

[@thrifting_in_the_ozarks3887]

Love love love your living room, especially the new chairs!! Thanks for making such a long video. You’ve found a lot of beautiful items.

[@joannescargill8505]

Hi Karen, love your style and taste. New subscriber from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 xx

[@lavenderclothesline]

Thanks so much! Welcome 🥰

[@karentingler4937]

Love your living room updates!

[@kimborcoman2019]

It seems like that painting could live on the wall right over your shoulder in the room you shoot from until you sell it. What an amazing score 🖼

[@floridavintagesellerakapatti]

Loving the green you picked out for the living room.

[@bgcrow1]

Beautiful living room Karen! So calming. Great haul!

[@kathysheppeard2178]

Ugh that Henry Roger's paint would be gorgeous over your white sofa. I don't think I could sell it. Love it

[@ruthtorphy2204]

O so happy your having fun🌞

[@evablada5463]

Hi Karen - I totally agree with you about What Not. I sell on 3 platforms plus Offer Up and yes I store inventory. They say the advantage to What Not is you don’t have to store but you still list and photograph. I noticed that items sell very low as well. I don’t think it is for me and I’m ok with that. I know you will make the decision that is right for you too 😉.

[@nitamcclanahan7420]

I too get frustrated with Goodwill. Pricing a pair of pajamas separately.

[@plaidpaisley5918]

Karen, I have shipped China and artwork by cutting into a dollar store pool noodle and wrapping it around the item, then taping it. Good success so far.

[@lavenderclothesline]

Yes, I have done shipping videos on pool noodles

[@deborahmenchaca9123]

Love how you decorated your living room space great job👍

[@lavenderclothesline]

Thanks so much!!

[@sunshinemelissa89]

Fantastic haul. The Viking piece would need to stay in my personal collection:)

[@lorrieriddle4079]

The living room is gorgeous!! You have excellent taste!

[@lavenderclothesline]

Lorrie!! Thanks so much 💜

[@julychils]

That Bagatelle is gorgeous! Great finds as always.

[@anitabaugh2201]

Karen you totally rock wearing the tassle earrings! They go so well with your beautiful hair and your neckletta. I have many pairs and I've hidden them from myself, so I'm going to have to dig around a bit!👍🏻😀❤🤗

[@blancavr1]

I would have loved to see how you packed that viking piece.

[@lolaseymour1532]

Loved this video Karen! I watched to the end & I don't even handle clothing! Hoping that your knowledge of brands will help me up my game! Loving your living room. Need to follow your rule of no resale in that space. Who ever thought of taking the window out to get the sofa in was a genius! By the way, you look lovely as usual.

[@lavenderclothesline]

Thanks Lola, you’re so sweet! 💜

[@maggielaurel2902]

Black sleeveless tunic

[@santatobias-pruitt1245]

I want those duvet covers! 🥰😍

[@loredana824]

That denim jacket is just gorgeous 😍 I wouldn't want to sell it either 😃

[@JacksMomPat]

Hi Karen, such great finds! You have the sharpest “eye” in the reselling community! Awesome! Cheers, Pat

[@lavenderclothesline]

Bless you Pat!! 💜 I always appreciate your kindness!

[@patriciadelisle2189]

Hi Karen! Some amazing finds & very interesting! I especially enjoyed the large painting for $7.50. Wishing you well with that! Patty 💃🎶💕 Alberta 🇨🇦🍁

[@joellenmeek658]

Good scores today and, by the way, I LOVE Alone too.

[@AuntGrace]

Nice job on the living room refresh 💕

[@lavenderclothesline]

Thanks Aunt Grace!

[@cathygilani4663]

Hi Karen! Love your channel & the quality things you find. Also - LOVE your tassel earrings! Can I ask you where you get them?? Cathy - Gold River, CA

[@donnamurphy1871]

Hi Karen. Would you or your daughter Melissa possibly be able to film a tutorial on lighting? I want to purchase lighting for when I photograph my hard goods and clothing but I am at a complete loss on how to start. By the way, I look so forward to Wednesdays and Sundays! I followed your videos for four months before I finally took the plunge and started selling. Have a great day!

[@mequincoop5933]

Hi Karen! I’m new to your channel and to reselling. Your explanations are so helpful and I’m learning a lot from watching your videos. Thank you for the excellent and informative content!

[@lorrieriddle4079]

Binge watch all her old videos, Karen is absolutely phenomenal!! I have learned so very much from her including lots of inventory cleaning product recommendations!!

[@jeanneewaseck6635]

Such a sweet find, that painting! Henry Rogers painted a similar street WITH the Eiffel Tower in the background, so I'm thinking this is also Paris, just a truncated version - which will still sell well 😁

[@jedaholmberg3211]

There is also one like this with the Arch de Triomph in it but it was only $200

[@atomicredhead]

Love the Viking Amberina Epic bird dish. (Epic is the line) Actually it has cadmium in it and if you put a uv light to it the yellow in it will glow. Beautiful piece And Henry Roger's did paint multiple of the same pieces. They usually sell for about 25ish. But still beautiful

[@beagrine2657]

Love the painting Blessings

[@forgiven5919]

You found some beautiful clothes and I love the bird dish. Thanks for sharing!

[@dellahamberg3269]

You live in a great area for Goodwill. I live in Connecticut and our Goodwill Stores are nothing like yours.

[@joesimon2029]

The Goodwill stores in NY are clear glass and baby clothes. That's it.

[@susandavies1024]

Oh Karen what great finds that denim jacket just to die for loving the new furniture in the living room have a great week 🇬🇧

[@marianneadamo6773]

Beautiful painting

[@shannon_w.]

I have the Amberina Viking bird but it is just the figure and I got it in perfect condition with the sticker for $4! I was sooo excited!

[@sherryabel8297]

awesome video! Loved it!

[@irisscally950]

I also love PotteryBarn alot of my furniture is from there. I'm a nut for there pillow covers.

[@lynnjudkins9078]

Loved the beautiful bird dish the color of it is great good price also but I can’t buy anything like that as I have a cat that likes to knock things off shelf or table she’s so bad

[@janiceboling]

Also, I am an artist and do mostly paintings. I try to get my strokes smooth, there is no way you can feel my brush strokes.

[@irisscally950]

You should keep that, put above your new couch. Would look fabulous!

[@brianhenry2385]

Leather Jacket Shipping: that one I’d pre-bag and see if it, once bagged, would slide into a Medium Flat Rate clothing box (the larger, flat style), before shifting over to FedEx. For me, all FedEx packages have to be taken into town (about a half hour away), so if the cost isn’t much more for for the Med FR, I will go that route since my Carrier picks up USPS boxes here and saves the road trip to town.

[@bethelaine5821]

I have a request…are you able to get a very close view of the painting? I’d like to see what the surface looks like!

[@bobbinoethlich5281]

I love Athleta too!

[@Danimij]

List those pink aerie leggings as “balletcore dancer” those are so cute. Love them 💕

[@sebastianreeves6801]

The Henry Rogers painting is of a street in Paris. ☺️

[@loreencaverly5620]

Love your videos and your suggestions! New reseller here.

[@stinejohansen8342]

If you have an quality auction house or art auction house nearby, it might be an idea to get them to sell the painting. The picture/scene is amazing! I love it. It seems familiar, but Im not sure where I have seen it.

[@denisespicks122]

Karen.. did you ever sell those Ski's that you picked up? If so, what did you get for them? Thanks!

[@lavenderclothesline]

I just listed them 💜

[@melodiedouglas3359]

The painting is probably Paris, based on the heights of the buildings. Paris has a restriction on building heights. Nothing can be tall except for the Eifel Tower.

[@lindajarrous2138]

Do you send silks to the dry cleaners?

[@TheBeesKneesTreasure]

Just an FYI- If you did want to ship your large items, Fed Ex will pack and ship for a very reasonable price.

[@dana44ism]

I believe Agnes and Dora is Anthropologie

[@niefiazupancic3063]

Just Curious - what stores are you getting these great buys in? Im in California & hit up Goodwill a lot but NEVER find they types of deals you're finding. Granted I'm not a reseller so I don't go out sourcing a lot like you do BUT I do go there at least once a week.
